The Southern Regional Education Board and Member States

Southern Regional Education Board

SREB.org

June 2016

The Southern Regional Education Board works with states to improve public education at every level, from early childhood through doctoral education. A nonprofit, nonpartisan organi- zation headquartered in Atlanta, SREB was created in 1948 by governors and legislators who recognized the link between education and economic vitality.

SREB serves a wide range of education policy leaders, including governors, state legislators, executive and legislative staff, and K-12 and postsecondary agency officials. Targeted SREB programs work directly with educators and scholars at the district, college and school levels. SREB’s work is funded by member appropria-tions, by grants from foundations and agencies, and through contracts with district and state agencies. This report provides an overview of how each of the 16 member states participate in SREB programs and services.

Policy

Goals for Education | Monitoring state policiesMonitoring, measuring and reporting through comparative and state-specific reports to assist education lead-ers and policymakers as they shape public policy in education. SREB tracks trends and analyzes the progress of all 16 SREB states in each area in the Challenge to Lead 2020 Goals for Education. SREB refreshed the poli-cies related to the goals in 2016 to reflect the work of three of its recent commissions.

College and career readinessIntensive work to help member states implement these essential components of SREB’s recommendations for statewide college and career readiness:

1. Adopt statewide readiness standards for literacy and mathematics skills.

2. Assess high school juniors to determine their progress toward the standards.

3. Offer transitional readiness courses. Require juniors who are assessed as underprepared to take the courses in 11th or 12th grade.

4. Apply the standards in deciding whether students need learning support after admission to college.

5. Hold schools accountable for increasing postsecondary readiness.

The following SREB states have passed related legislation:

Arkansas Maryland Florida Tennessee Georgia Texas Kentucky West Virginia

SREB has assisted Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia in their reviews of K-12 standards in literacy and mathematics.

BenchmarkingImplementationofCollege-andCareer-ReadinessStandardsTracks and reports state progress on implementation of college- and career-readiness standards and related reforms. Based on this research, SREB staff support states through reports, meetings and technical assistance. In May 2016, SREB published Professional Learning. Seventeen reports make up this set: a cross-state trends report with recommended actions for improvements, a project overview and look-fors document, and 15 state profiles of efforts to support professional learning on college- and career-readiness standards.

Career and technical educationCommissiononCareerandTechnicalEducationThe SREB Commission on Career and Technical Education published its report and recommendations in 2015. The report, Credentials for All: An Imperative for SREB States, offers states eight actions to help more students acquire the academic and technical knowledge and skills to earn industry and postsecondary credentials and secure high-skill, high-wage, high-demand jobs.

Pathway to NursingA nursing career pathway program under development with the Kentucky Department of Education and other leaders in the state. The joint associate to bachelor’s model builds on recommendations of the SREB Community College Commission and Commission on Career and Technical Education. It will be a 120-credit-hour program of study in nursing, delivered beginning in high school and continuing through community college to employment and a university to earn a bachelor’s degree.

n 30 hours in high school, at no cost to the student

n 60 credit hours on a community college campus

n 30 hours online, through a university-based program

The model will be piloted in the Louisville area in August 2017 with partnering public high schools, Jefferson Community and Technical College and area health care providers through the Health Careers Collaborative of Greater Louisville.

InterstateCooperativesGoAllianceGo Alliance is a consortium of states working together to increase the number of students who complete a postsecondary credential. Go Alliance research and services focus on:

n improving college access policies

n increasing the quality and availability of programs that support students as they prepare for and apply to postsecondary education; and

n enhancing communications strategies that inform students about how to plan and apply for higher education — and motivate them to do so.

Go Alliance members participate in programs that allow states to accomplish together what they might not be able to do individually. Go Alliance helps states replicate programs that have proven effective in other states. It also connects college access professionals across states so they can share best practices and discuss issues relevant to their work.

SREB states that participate in Go Alliance:

Alabama Maryland South Carolina Delaware Mississippi Tennessee Georgia North Carolina West Virginia Louisiana Oklahoma
